Could 'South Ossetia' and 'South Ossetia - Cinderella' also be added as country/territory?

From August 14, 2013, South Ossetia issues stamps that can actually be used, including for mail to Russia (see https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%98%D1%81%D1%82%D0% BE%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%8F_%D0%BF%D0%BE%D1%87%D1%82%D1%8B_%D0%B8_%D0%BF%D0%BE%D1%87% D1%82%D0%BE%D0%B2%D1%8B%D1%85_%D0%BC%D0%B0%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%BA_%D0%AE%D0%B6%D0% BD%D0%BE%D0%B9_%D0%9E%D1%81%D0%B5%D1%82%D0%B8%D0%B8 ) and apparently even internationally (see http://worldairmail.blogspot.com/ search/label/SOUTH%20OSSETIA ). In the years before they used Russian stamps. For now, I entered 9671593 under Georgia 'regional'.

The pre-August 14, 2013 official issues were cinderellas with no postage value, intended as "collectibles." Some of these are now listed (including 5491965) under 'Fantasyland', which is of course incorrect, because the area really exists.

There are also fake editions for South Ossetia with popular philatelic themes (eg 6568793 ) that also belong under the cinderella category.
